Hencely v. Fluor Corp. · ¶77

Based on what is known about the events leading to the bombing, it may well be that both the military and Fluor are responsible for petitioner's injuries. Under South Carolina law, they could be jointly and severally liable, but because the military is shielded by sovereign immunity, Fluor is potentially liable for all the compensatory damages that petitioner may be awarded. See Green v. McGee, 446 S. C. 343, 350, 919 S. E. 2d 903, 906 (2025); 120 F. 4th 412, 424 (CA4 2024). Any negligence on the part of the military would not diminish Fluor's liability for compensatory damages.
